1)
my
sitting at
home with
you
2)
my going
out
or
traveling
together
with
you.
C.
In
your
relations with
me
you
commit
yourself explicitly
to
adhering
to
the
following
points:
1)
You
are
neither
to
expect intimacy
from
me nor
to
reproach
me
in
any
way.
2)
You must desist
immediately
from
addressing
me
if
I
request
it.
3)
You
must leave
my
bedroom
or
office
immediately
without
protest
if
I
so
request.
D.
You commit
yourself
not to
disparage
me
either in word
or
in
deed
in
front of
my
children.
I
am ash[amed]
for
you
because
you
let
yourself
be
so
affected
by
Berlin.
Little
boy,
I
only
have to
say,
then
he does it
right
away.
Go
your
own way,
let
yourself
be deceived.
I
really
don’t
care.
Read this
slowly.
It
will
do
you good.
Read it
also
to
your family,
they
have
nothing
else to
do.
Adn:[2]
Ever since
coming
to
Berlin
you
have become
quite
lazy.
M[ileva]
You
must also write
that
thing
about
Mrs. Haber.[3]
They
should
also know
that
other
people
also
are
interested in how the famous
man
behaves.
Nasty jokes.
23. To Mileva Einstein-Maric
[Berlin,
ca.
18 July
1914][1]
D[ear]
Miza,
Yesterday
Haber
gave me
your
letter,
from which
I
gather
that
you
want to
accept my
conditions.[2] And
yet
I must
write
you again
so
that
you
are
completely
clear
about
the situation.
I’m
prepared
to return to
our
apartment,[3]
because
I
don’t
want to
lose
the
children and because
I
don’t
want
them
to
lose
me,
and
for
this
reason
alone.
After all
that
has
happened,
a
comradely relationship
with
you
is out
of
the
question.
It
should become
a
loyal
business
relationship;
the
personal aspects
must
be reduced
to
a
tiny
remnant. In
return,
however,
I
assure
you
of
proper
comportment
on
my
part,
such
as
I
would exercise toward
any
woman as a
stranger.
My
confidence in
you
suffices for
this,
but
only
for this.
If
it
is
impossible
for
you
to
continue
living
together
on
this
basis,
I
shall
resign
myself
to
the
necessity
of
a
separation.
Requesting
a
clear
reply
to
this, yours,
Albert.
